New York Yankees vs Houston Astros Post
Game Recap

Final Score: Yankees 5 Astros 1

The New York Yankees were able to
finish up their 2013 season in Houston with a win over the horrible
Astros, as they completed the sweep in extra innings on Sunday. The
win means the Yankees finish the 2013 season with a (85-77), which is
pretty good considering all the injuries this season.

David Huff got the start for the
Yankees, and despite pitching pretty well didn’t factor in the
decision. Huff would only allow one run in the first inning, as Matt
Dominguez had a RBI single to score Jonathan Villar. Huff went five
innings allowing just the one run on three hits, and had seven
strikeouts.

Astros Starter Erik Bedard was
extremely good against the Yankees lineup, but didn’t get the win
due to his bullpen letting him down. Bedard went seven shutout
innings allowing zero runs, and only three hits, while striking out
nine batters.

In the eighth inning the Yankees would
finally get on the scoreboard, as after an Eduardo Nunez double ,
Curtis Granderson singled him home off of Kevin Chapman.

Some of the Yankees young arms looked
pretty good on Sunday, as Brett Marshall, Dellin Betances, and Matt
Daley combined to pitch 6.1 innings, while striking out nine batters.
Daley would pick up his first win of the season.

In the 14th inning, the
Yankees would break the 1-1 tie, and run away with the game. Mark
Reynolds would hit the eventually game-winning home run off of Lucas
Harrell, which was the 21st of the season for Reynolds.
Eduardo Nunez would tack on some insurance runs with a two-run double
that scored Brendan Ryan and Zoilo Almonte. After Harrell was pulled
for Jorge De Leon, J.R. Murphy would knock in Nunez with a single.

Next up for the Yankees will be surely
be a ton of change, as there are so many uncertainties from top to
bottom on the roster, and also who will be managing the team, with
Joe Girardi's uncertainty whether or not he will be sitting on the
bench.
